April - did this problem occur only in interactive terminal mode or even when a script writes the japanese/ASCII text mixture (e.g. % cat "ksh93_echo_japanese.ksh93" | ksh # ) ? Linux may suffer from a similar problem, please read https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-users/2006q1/000838.html and https://mailman.research.att.com/pipermail/ast-users/2006q1/000839.html BTW: Which terminal emulator did you use ? Gnome terminal, kconsole, dtterm or xterm ? ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
